Chapter 107: Thank You Gift
"Messenger holding wheat ears, I pray that you open the gate to the Styx..."
"Give me a ship that can sail on the Styx and a lamp that illuminates the darkness..."
Andre was chanting a prayer he had never heard of before. As he chanted, flames began to ignite on the sword of mercy.
This time the flame was milky white, with a holy and soft smell, burning along the blade towards the bones.
As the corpse was wrapped in the holy flame, the flames on it began to burn fiercely.
A flame-like thread emerged from the flame and connected to the beautiful soul.
Jasmine closed her eyes, hugged herself with her arms, and looked more and more relaxed, with a faint smile on her face.
Flames wrapped around her body, and Jasmine's soul emitted a soft light, but it was gradually fading until it completely dissipated.
A sound like the surging sea or the flowing river rang out in this quiet manor.
But this place is far away from the sea and there are no rivers around. Where does the sound come from?
Alka seemed to see a peaceful sea.
A ship with a white lantern hanging on it was slowly approaching . The picture was hazy and blurry, and it was not clear.
As the flames on the corpse disappeared, the sounds and images all disappeared.
And the corpse turned into a pile of ashes at some point.
After finishing the chant, Andre opened his eyes and put the Sword of Kindness back into the metal box on his back. Then the box slowly closed and Andre clasped his hands.
Bowed.
Then he squatted down and carefully collected the ashes and put them into a prepared cloth bag.
Then he turned around and looked at Alka and the other two, shook his head, and said, "Go get your thank you gifts, and prepare to return."
The three nodded and jumped down the tunnel. As the light came on, they saw the wooden box buried in the dirt.
I opened the wooden box and used a light to illuminate it. I saw a lot of things piled inside.
On top was a small wooden box, with some manuals and various utensils piled underneath.
Jason reached in, picked up the wooden box, looked at it, and handed it directly to Alka.
"This is a gift just for you."
Alka took it and looked at it, and there were indeed words engraved on it.
Jia Mi looked at the remaining things in the box and said, "Let's move these things to the boat first and then divide them up. There are still a lot of things in it. It's a bit of a waste of time to stay here."
The two men nodded, then pulled the wooden box out of the ground with great effort, reassembled it, and held it up with Gami's tentacles.
"Okay, let's go back then."
Andre said as he walked outside. When he arrived outside the manor, he found a place with many flowers, dug a mud pit, and buried the ashes in it.
Then they returned the same way and boarded the ship soon after.
In the darkness of the night, the Sea Fist withdrew from its berth.
"Return, everyone can go back and rest. Remember to always pay attention to your mental state. We have stayed in the Dark Realm for too long."
After saying this, he returned to the captain's room.
However, the others had no intention of going back, and followed them into the captain's room, because Alka and the others still needed to divide things.
Xia Daiti and others were also curious about what the girl had left behind.
Move the wooden box onto the table.
He took out the things inside one by one.
A pamphlet, several books, and a rough chart of the Dark Realm .
Then there are the magic items.
A monocular telescope, a hair clip, a lady's bracelet, and a dagger.
"There are quite a lot of things." Jason couldn't help but smile.
Jamie began to identify these magical items.
"This telescope is not much different from the captain's. It can see farther than a normal telescope. It can also penetrate darkness, fog, and strong light, provided that these things are not composed of supernatural forces."
These four items were divided among Alka and the other two and were their individual spoils of war.
Gami held the telescope and looked at the two people and asked, "Do you need this thing? If not, I will choose this one."
He had used the telescope in Andre's hand before and was very interested in it, thinking it was very suitable for him.
The two of them were not too obsessed with this thing. Since Jiami wanted it, they would naturally not fight for it. He shook his head.
After receiving it, Jiami picked up the hairpin.
"Women's hairpins, when worn on the head, should be able to lift one's spirits a little . They look good and are made of expensive materials. They are worth 2 to 3 gold sails."
The three of them looked at it, with no desire to accept it. The hairpin was embellished with gems and butterfly-like carvings.
It is difficult for normal men to accept having this thing stuck in their hair, not to mention that their hair is not strong enough for them to wear this thing firmly.
At this time, Vanessa patted the table and said, "Don't you want it? If not, I'll buy it."
She quite liked the look of this thing, and it had magical effects, which was even better.
"OK."
The three of them all agreed and nodded.
Vanessa walked out of the captain's room directly, and came back in with three golden sails after a short while, handing one to each of the three people.
Then she took the hairpin and put it directly on her head and started chatting with Xia Dai.
"As for this bracelet, let me take a look at it... It should be worn by ordinary people, and it can slightly improve their physical fitness."
Hearing this, Jason's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but say, "Then I'll take this one."
Although Alka thought the item was pretty good, he would not fight for it since Jason wanted it. He nodded in agreement.
Although they are Touchers, they all have relatives, and their relatives undoubtedly need this thing.
The last dagger looked the most valuable and fell into Alka's hands.
After being appraised by Gami, the dagger was found to be made of a very strong material and also had a very normal attribute for a weapon, which was sharpness.
However, if you want to bring out the sharp characteristics, you have to inject magic power into it, just like the locker.
Gami was so thoughtful that he made a cloth belt on the spot to store the dagger, and handed it to Alka along with the dagger.
It was pinned to Alka's waist.
I just happen to be lacking a weapon that can be used for close combat. A dagger is fine, but a sailor knife would be even better.
"What is marked on this map should be what Jasmine mentioned before, the wealth she left behind on other islands." Jason said as he looked at the map.
Then he handed the map to Alka: "Keep it, we will explore these later."
Alka nodded, took the map and put it directly into his pocket ring. He had storage equipment so it would be best for him to keep this thing.
Jamie flipped through the booklet, somewhat surprised.
"This book actually contains several lost spells. What a coincidence!"
"What a coincidence?"
Alka turned around and asked.
"There's actually [Dark Vision] in here, which is what Jason asked about before."
Hearing this, everyone thought it was a coincidence, as Jason had talked about this before when they went to the island.
Didn't expect to get it now?
In addition to [Dark Vision], the booklet also contains a spell [Swing Dagger] that can make the dagger-wielding action faster, and a spell [Stealth] that can make the action more covert.
The three spells together, plus the dagger inside, are just enough to turn a toucher into an assassin.
The combination is perfect.
[Stealth] is okay. This is a spell that can only be more effective when engraved on equipment. If you need to use it all the time, it would be a waste of magic power.
Alka felt that the spell [Swing the Dagger] was a bit absurd and too useless.
It was actually limited to dagger weapons, which he totally couldn't understand. It was a bit of a waste of energy.
I couldn't help but ask, "This spell is so strange, how did it evolve?"
"Either it was learned from some kind of dagger-shaped [treasure], or it was deliberately studied and reduced from other more powerful weapon action spells." In response to Alka's question, Jamie explained.
This kind of strange spell, after evolution, can often be encountered.
So it’s not too rare.
As for those books, there is nothing interesting about them. They are just some collections of books. They contain some skills and knowledge, but they are not of much use.
They are all rare and unique copies. They would be nice to keep in the library as collections. I can give them to Lipoka directly later.
Andre was very interested in the spell "Dark Vision".
He said beside him: "Are you willing to give this spell to the church? The church will make an equal contribution."
Before Alka could react after hearing this, Jamie and Jason nodded quickly.
Seeing the two's behavior, Alka nodded as well.
The fact that both of them agreed hastily without asking for his opinion meant that this contribution was definitely worthwhile.
They don't think that the exchange between these things will be unequal.
Xia Daiti explained, "The church's contribution is rare. It must really bring some help to the church."
Hearing what Xia Deti said, Alka turned around and looked at her: "Can you read minds?"
Hearing this, Xia Daiti couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
"Hahaha, no, it's just that every time you have doubts, you raise your eyebrows slightly. Didn't you notice?"
Hearing this, Alka touched his eyebrows and said, "Really? I didn't even notice it."
Seeing that the three people all agreed, Andre said directly: "This spell is still very useful in this place. Is there any material on the ship?"
Jiami nodded: "There is none on the ship, but the blood of the squid before can be used as a substitute."
"Wait, I'll get it for you."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out of the captain's room and went into the cabin.
After a while, he came in with several tubes of dark red blood and handed one to each person.
Because everyone will definitely learn this spell, it is definitely a very practical spell.
If they hand this spell over to the church, the church will have to make a significant contribution to the three of them.
Then everyone gathered around the book and looked at the important matters of learning the spell.
After memorizing it in their minds, they each returned to their own rooms.
After returning to the room, Alka did not immediately begin to comprehend the spell.
Instead, he spread out his hands, and a wooden box appeared in his hands.
It was exactly the gift that Jasmine had said she would give him.
But this itself is for Lucelia.
Lucelia also came out of the mirror and sat at the table next to her.
Alka walked over and placed the wooden box on top, then opened it.
There was also a book inside, and on top of the book was a doll-like object.
The doll is wrapped in a blue outline, and it is the most valuable item in the wooden box.
Alka picked up the doll and looked at it. The doll was very heavy in his hand, at least 10 kilograms.
The doll is in human shape, without any decorations, and is covered with dirt and damage.
It's a bit like something that has been abandoned.
Unable to figure out what this thing was, Lucelia shook her head.
Alka put the doll aside and picked up the booklet next to it and started reading it.
I see. It really suits Lucelia.
